Preparation Steps

Start by rinsing and drying the fresh chives, dill, and parsley thoroughly. Finely chop them into small pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the full-fat sour cream and full-fat mayonnaise until smooth.
Gradually pour in the buttermilk while whisking, then stir in the chopped herbs, minced garlic, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, pepper, and optional paprika.
Vigorously mix for about 30 seconds and taste, adjusting seasonings as desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
After chilling, give the dip a final stir and serve with fresh vegetables, chips, or crackers.
